Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a process for making new cationic amphiphiles that can effectively deliver genetic materials into antigen presenting cells. These amphiphiles contain mannose-mimicking shikimic and quinic acid head-groups, which help to target specific types of cells in the immune system. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of genetic material transfer, which can have important applications in immunotherapy and genetic engineering.

Problems solved by technology

However, clinical trials have revealed that the immune response induced by a topical injection of naked DNA is insufficient (Roy, M. J. et al.
However, antigen presenting cells are hard to transfect.
However, the efficiencies of dendritic cells transfection by the liposomes prepared from cationic amphiphiles with mannose-mimicking shikimic and quinic acid head-groups were poor (˜3%, Srinivas, R. et al.

[0081]Synthesis of the Cationic Amphiphile (1) (Scheme 1, X, n=13).

[0082]Step (i): Solid HOBt (0.28 g, 2 mmol) and EDCI (0.4 g, 2 mmol) were added sequentially to an ice cold and stirred solution of Nα—Z—Nε—BOC-L-Lysine (0.76 g, 2 mmol) in 5 mL dry DCM / dry DMF (9:1, v / v) under nitrogen atmosphere. After half an hour, N-2-aminoethyl-N,N-di-n-hexadecylamine (0.8 g, 1.5 mmol) dissolved in 5 mL dry DCM was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting solution was left stirred at 25° C. for 12 h, diluted with excess DCM and washed sequentially with saturated sodium bicarbonate (˜2×50 mL) and water (˜2×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent from the filtrate removed by rotary evaporation. The residue upon column chromatographic purification with 60-120 mesh silica gel using 1-1.5% methanol in dichloromethane (v / v) as eluent afforded 1.1 g (80% yield) of the pure intermediate I. (Rf=0.5, 5% methanol in dichloromethane, v / v).

Abstract

The present invention discloses novel cationic amphiphiles containing mannose-mimicking shikimic and quinic acid head-groups and a process for preparing cationic amphiphiles with mannose-mimicking polar head-groups such as, shikimic and quinic acids. The findings described herein also demonstrate that compounds of the present invention can target model DNA vaccines to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), via mannose receptors expressed on the cell surface of APCs. The cationic amphiphiles disclosed herein show enhanced cellular and humoral immune response compared to their mannosyl counterpart in dendritic cell (DC, the most professional APC) based genetic immunization in mice. Cationic amphiphiles with mannose-mimicking quinic and shikimic acid head-groups described in the present invention are likely to find future applications in the field of genetic immunization.
